Patent AU-3273695-A (AU)
Title: Bag gripping and transfer apparatus and method
Inventor: KOVACS LLOYD
IPC: B65B43/46
Filed: 1995-07-13
Abstract: A method and apparatus for gripping a bag and downstream handling, such as application of a header label to the bag. The bag, which has previously been filled with a product, is presented to the apparatus at an upstream bag presentation and accepting station and is gripped proximate its top. It is then transferred from the upstream bag accepting station to a downstream bag release station. Before being released, the bag travels to an intermediate label application station where a label is readied, the label then being transferred upstream to a second position and applied to the bag. Thereafter, the bag proceeds downstream, with the label, and the label is sealed to the bag. A series of grippers are employed for accepting a stream of discreet bags in a continuous manner. The grippers are recirculated continuously so that the apparatus operates continuously so long as bags are presented for application of a label.

Title: Flexible content distribution method and apparatus
Inventor: BRAITBERG MICHAEL F
IPC: H04N5/913
Filed: 2001-01-18
Abstract: Protected content is distributed to users without the need for payment at the time of media distribution.

Patent AU-3813789-A (AU)
Title: Treatment of gelling agents
Inventor: BARMENTLO BART
IPC: A23L29/20
Filed: 1989-07-17
Abstract: The invention is concerned with treatment of gelatins, so as to remove or reduce off-flavours. It has been determined that the off flavour may be reduced by membrane filtration to remove a low-molecular weight fraction. The invention provides gelatine substantially without a low molecular weight fraction and a process for the purification of gelatine which comprises removal of a low-molecular weight fraction by membrane filtration. While it is difficult to be precise about the substances responsible for the off-flavour, it is believed that 4- and 5-methyl indane are removed by the filtration. Accordingly, a further aspect of the present invention provides gelatine substantially free of 4- or 5-methyl indane, and a gelatine preparable by membrane filtration under such conditions as to substantially remove 4- and 5-methyl indane. While it is not confirmed that the methyl indanes are the per se cause of the off flavour it is proposed that the off flavour promoting species are removed under conditions which also remove the methyl indanes.

Title: Adjustable dampers using electrorheological fluids
Inventor: PETEK NICHOLAS
IPC: F16F9/53
Filed: 1993-07-14
Abstract: Adjustable dampers using electrorheological (ER) fluids comprise one or more annular ER fluid transfer ducts in fluid communication with fluid chambers on opposite sides of the damper pistons. Each duct (10) has one or more contoured surfaces or bands (46) along a portion of the length of one or both walls of the ducts providing one or more annular constricted working areas through which the ER fluid is forced when displaced by movement of the pistons. By selectively applying a voltage/electric field across the primary working areas, the flow resistance of the ER fluid passing through the primary working area is increased which increases the damping force of the dampers. <IMAGE>

Title: Air purification device
Inventor: WHITEHEAD JOHN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01T23/00
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: An apparatus for purifying air comprising two electrodes having a dielectric material such as glass extending therebetween.

Title: Method and system for initiating idle handoff in a wireless communications system
Inventor: SHI YU
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A system and method for deciding whether to initiate an idle handoff in a wireless communications system is disclosed. A mobile station having an integrated chip and software instructions executed by that chip obtain samples at first and second times of the pilot signals radiated by first and second base stations. A determination is then made whether to initiate an idle handoff based upon a comparison of the total strengths of the second time samples and a position-weighting term with a design constant. The position-weighting term accounts for the change in position of the mobile station relative to the first and second base stations in between the first and second sample times. The position-weighting term may itself be weighted to account for the strength of the earliest arriving multipath component of the first and second pilots relative to the total strength of the first and second pilots.
